MPI001/FL/WH/6

Pushbutton Switches

Pushbutton switches, or commonly known as mushroom head pushbutton, are commonly used in industrial automation and control equipment. Pushbutton switches work by pressing down the mushroom head and it presses a button switch underneath it, that in turn will activate a certain device. The most common versions, such as the MPI001/FL/WH/6 are often used to control machinery, or other electrical and electronic equipment.

The MPI001/FL/WH/6 pushbutton switch is a single pole, double throw (SPDT) switch, meaning it consists of a single pole contact, two throw contacts and one common contact. It has a minimum contact rating of 12 Amps, a maximum contact rating of 16 Amps and a minimum insulation resistance of 500V AC/DC. It also operates between 6 and 240 Volts.

When the mushroom head is pressed down, an electrical current will travel through the common contact and make a connection between the two throw contacts. This in turn will activate the connected device in either an on or off state, depending on how the switch is wired. The two throw contacts can then be connected to two separate circuits, such as a power supply, motor controller, or other type of equipment. This allows the switch to activate or deactivate the connected circuits at a certain point, thus providing a job such as controlling a motor or opening and closing valves in response to the activation of the pushbutton switch. Additionally, the MPI001/FL/WH/6 is equipped with a built-in LED indicator light that will light up when the mushroom head button is pressed down, indicating when the device is on or off.

The MPI001/FL/WH/6 Pushbutton Switch is suitable for use in both indoor and outdoor environments, provided that it is adequately protected against moisture, dirt and dust. It is also designed to be waterproof, so it can be used in environments that are frequently exposed to water and liquid chemical spills. This makes the switch ideal for use in industries such as manufacturing, chemical processing, food processing, pharmaceutical production and many other applications with similar requirements.

In conclusion, the MPI001/FL/WH/6 Pushbutton Switch is a reliable, robust and highly efficient switch suitable for both indoor and outdoor use under varying conditions. It is suitable for controlling machinery, or other electrical and electronic equipment, and offers an economical solution to automated control.
